Dress for an Exam or Procedure

If your knee hurts, having loose sweats or shorts on will help save you time. If your shoulder hurts, having a button blouse or shirt would be less painful to don off and back on than a tight turtleneck. If you may have ear wax that needs to be cleared, dress in layers and/or bring an extra change of clothing in case as you are may get your shirt wet.

Lists

We all have lots of stuff on our minds these days. Have list of issues or questions you wish to have addressed written out will help your doctor organize your visit. You don't want to leave the thing that worries you the most to the last minute and your doctor want to have enough time to address issues that may need timely attention.
